Flamingos Golf Club
Flamingos Golf Club
Flamingos Golf Club is one of the most scenic and welcoming courses on Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Designed by Percy Clifford and opened in 1970, it stands as the original championship course of Riviera Nayarit. Set between tropical forest and the Bay of Banderas, Flamingos combines mature beauty, strategic design, and a relaxed atmosphere that appeals to players of all levels.
The layout flows through rolling terrain with wide fairways framed by palm trees, natural lagoons, and vibrant flowering plants. Elevation changes and gentle doglegs create a rhythm that keeps every hole interesting. The greens are generous and well protected, encouraging both aggressive play and creative recovery shots. The result is a course that feels classic, natural, and perfectly integrated into its surroundings.
Cypress and Salt curates Flamingos escapes that blend authentic Mexican charm with refined resort luxury. Guests enjoy oceanfront accommodations in Nuevo Vallarta, curated dining experiences highlighting regional cuisine, and private catamaran cruises along the coast. Flamingos Golf Club is where heritage and hospitality meet, offering a round that feels timeless and deeply connected to place.
